“…However, the poor penetration of the nanomaterials into biofilm greatly limited the efficiency of combating BAIs. − Various strategies have been developed to enhance the permeability of nanostructures, including controlling the size and shape, , polymer-targeted modification, − matrix component-degrading enzyme decoration, − liposome encapsulation, − and polypeptide modification. − Nanoparticles with sharp shapes were more likely to destroy the substrate structure of biofilm than blunt particles. , Recently, Qian et al synthesized a magnetic zeolitic imidazolate framework (ZIF) with a flower-like clustered structure for combating biofilm infections via combining the photothermal with catalytic properties, which demonstrated that the flower-like structure could destroy the local biofilm structure to increase the penetration . In addition, the sharp-shaped nanostructures equipped with magnetic nanoparticles provided enormous potential for biofilm destruction. − Magnetic nanoparticles tunneled channels into the biofilm under an alternating magnetic field (AMF), thus improving the permeability of the antibacterial agent.…”
